As they had an appointment with Dojun’s brother, and since Dojun hadn’t arrived yet, she would handle their reception until he did. The secretaries guided the two of them to the reception room without any suspicion.
When the door to the reception room closed, Taeyeon took a short breath.
“Why hide the fact that you’re married to Dojun?”
“I didn’t intentionally avoid talking about it.”
“Oh, I think I know.”
Even though I didn’t say anything, Haejun’s confident assertion made Taeyeon curious.
“I understand your circumstances, Mr. Jisoo.”
“My circumstances?”
“The only reason a married woman would hide the fact is one, right.”
Haejun laughed slyly while leaning back in his chair.
“No, it seems there might be a misunderstanding…….”
At that moment, the reception room door swung open, and Dojun, exhaling loudly, revealed himself.
“CEO?”
“I’m here.”
Dojun glanced at Haejun without giving him much attention and scrutinized Taeyeon.
Even though Haejun knew that there was no harm in him being seen with her in a place where many people could witness, he still carefully examined her before visibly relaxing.
“Ms. Jin Taeyeon, are you okay?”
“Yes, I am.”
Seeing Taeyeon smiling brightly, Dojun finally shifted his gaze to Haejun.
“Why are you here?”
“Just passing by and happened to think of you.”
“Since you’re busy, let’s keep it brief.”
Dojun opened the reception room door, gesturing for Taeyeon to go in.
“Manager Jin, thank you for your efforts in entertaining the guest.”
It was a remark made with the awareness that the secretaries were listening outside.
Taeyeon also responded with a respectful attitude, thoroughly treating her superior.
“No problem; I’ll go back to the office then.”
Watching Taeyeon move away, Haejun chuckled as if finding it amusing.
⭐⭐⭐
Siraek had been staring at Taeyeon’s empty seat for a while.
“Where did you go, leaving your seat empty for so long?”
Checking the internal calendar that displayed meeting schedules, there was no meeting today that Taeyeon was supposed to attend.
“A person usually doesn’t leave their seat empty for so long during working hours.”
That’s why Siraek was even more curious and couldn’t bear it.
Taejin was extremely persistent. He wanted detailed reports on what Taeyeon was doing and where she was every hour.
“No, if you’re curious, ask her directly. Anyway.”
If it weren’t for Taejin’s ambiguous appearance and the fact that the position he offered her wasn’t a high-ranking executive role at Yuyup Industries, she would never have bothered with this annoying task.
Considering it as a step toward climbing higher, Siraek stood up from her seat.
Then she subtly approached Choi Yoonji, the delegate who was quite friendly with Taeyeon in the company.
“Delegate Choi.”
“Yes, Manager.”
“Where did Manager Jin go?”
“Taeyeon? I haven’t seen her since a while ago.”
“Oh? But she’s been missing for a while.”
Seeing Siraek looking for Taeyeon, Yoonji coldly tightened her face.
“Manager, is she trying to pass her work onto Taeyeon again?”
“No?”
It was definitely not the case today.
No, not only today but also in the future, she had no intention of doing that.
“Are you sure?”
“That’s right. I was just worried that she might have collapsed somewhere, like in the restroom, because her seat has been empty for so long.”
Siraek’s unexpected concern for Taeyeon was quite amusing.
“Earlier, I saw her with a man in the corridor.”
“A man? A colleague from our company?”
“No. It was someone I hadn’t seen before. It seemed like a guest who came to meet CEO Cha Dojun.”
With no additional information, Yoonji shrugged her shoulders.
“That’s all.”
Siraek quickly moved away, fixing her gaze on her phone as she walked.
“This is something that needs to be reported….”
So absorbed in looking at her phone and quickly typing a message, Siraek collided with someone, causing her to drop her phone.
“Manager, are you okay?”
The person Siraek bumped into was Taeyeon.
Quickly bending down, Taeyeon picked up Siraek’s phone for her.
[Met the mysterious man today…….]Inadvertently, Taeyeon glanced at the message Siraek was typing.
Siraek snatched her phone back from Taeyeon’s hand, shouting, “Manager Jin, why are you looking at someone else’s phone without permission?”
“I just wanted to pass along this message.”
“Did you see it?”
“See what?”
Although Taeyeon saw part of the message, she didn’t acknowledge it.
“Never mind, forget it.”
Siraek sighed deeply and left the office, holding her phone.
“Why is she like that again?”
A few days ago, she was inviting me to lunch, saying, “Let’s get along well.”
That’s Siraek’s true nature, treating me harshly like that, Taeyeon thought as she took her seat.
Yoonji glanced around and approached Taeyeon.
“What’s going on with you and Manager Chae?”
“Huh?”
“No, she kept asking me where you went since you left your seat empty for so long.”
“Manager Chae did?”
“Yeah.”
Yoonji, keeping an eye out in case Siraek came in, continued speaking.
“So, I asked her if she was looking for you because she thought you would pass your work to me again, but she said it wasn’t that.”
“Weird.”
“She said she wasn’t looking for you to give you work. I don’t get it.”
Siraek’s sudden change in attitude was also confusing to Yoonji.
The content of the message Siraek was typing kept lingering in Taeyeon’s mind.
‘Meeting an unknown man. Surely, it’s not about me, right?’
Having that thought, she quickly erased it from her mind.
‘Who would I tell such a story to?’
Assuming it was just a coincidence that her message intended for someone else overlapped, Taeyeon focused on her work.
